According to Deadline, Game Of Thrones fan-favourite Peter Dinklage has been cast in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past for a key role.

Speculation seems to favour Puck, a member of Canadian super-team Alpha Flight, but as this would be incredibly demeaning and embarrassing (seriously, a Canadian dwarf called Puck), it seems more likely that he is going to be one of the all-CG characters teased earlier this week.

Singer told MTV, “I definitely want to use this technology again, and I might even be using some of it in a different way in X-Men. I don’t want to say how, yet, but I’m definitely using some of this technology on X-Men, which I never used in any of the other X-Men films.”

Pick up X-Men: The Ultimate Collection, containing all five films so far, on Blu-ray for £19.75 and DVD for £15.29 from Amazon.co.uk. X-Men: Days Of Future Past is due in cinemas 18 July 2014.
